A lab studying causal discovery, which explores causal relationships from data.

AboutAbout the lab
Making causal discovery a standard analysis method
The Intelligent Reasoning Lab is a data science and AI lab that focuses on causal discovery.
The lab aims to establish causal discovery as a standard analysis method in scientific research and in industry and policy settings, laying the foundation for a society where causal inference is used routinely.
Working with researchers and practitioners in fields ranging from the natural and social sciences to engineering and medicine, the lab studies mathematical methodologies for uncovering causal relationships.
The lab develops new methodologies that can estimate causal relationships from observational data, even in situations where interventional experiments are difficult.
Key terms
- Causal discovery
- Estimating causal relationships from data, that is, which variables are the causes of which other variables
- Observational data
- Data collected as it naturally occurs, without people manipulating the conditions
- Interventional experiment
- An experiment in which people change a condition thought to be a cause and examine the difference in outcomes
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies mathematical methodologies for uncovering causal relationships, centered on causal discovery. It works with researchers and practitioners in various fields, aiming to establish causal discovery as a standard analysis method.
